EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER

“Great, they’re at it again,” Kennedy spoke as she and her twin brother, Ryan, walked into the kitchen.
“Do you have to have make-out sessions in the kitchen? Go to your room, for God’s sake,” Ryan spoke.
I broke our kiss, and Ariana and I glared at them.
“Is there something the two of you needed?” I asked.
They both held up white envelopes in their hands.
“Is that—” Ariana exclaimed.
“Yes.” Kennedy bit down on her bottom lip just like Ariana always did.
“Well, open them.” I smiled.
The two of them took in deep breaths as they opened their letters together and read them.
“I got in!” Kennedy smiled.
“So did I!” Ryan shouted, and the two of them high-fived each other.
“I knew you would!” Ariana screamed as she hugged them both.
“Congratulations, baby.” I kissed Kennedy’s head. “Congratulations, son.” I smiled as I hugged him. “I knew you both could do it. This calls for a celebratory toast.”
I went into the cabinet, pulled out a special bottle of champagne I had saved for this occasion, and took out four glasses. Handing everyone their drinks, I held up my glass.
“To my two beautiful children. The best things in life are yet to come for you. Congratulations on getting into Harvard. Your mom and I love you both very much and are so proud of you.”
“Thanks, Dad. We love both of you too.” They smiled as we all clanked our glasses together.
“We’re going out with our friends,” Ryan said.
“Yeah, we’ll see you later.” Kennedy smiled.
“Be home by midnight!” I shouted.
“Twelve thirty!” Ariana yelled as they flew out the door.
I looked over at her and cocked my head.
“What?” she asked.
“Why do you always extend their curfew by a half hour?”
“It’s a big night for them. Let them have their fun.”
I hooked my arm around her and led her to the couch, where we sat down by the fire and put our feet on the coffee table.
“I can’t believe our children want to be lawyers,” I spoke.
“I can. Look at who their parents are.” Ariana smirked.
“They’ll probably be better than us.” I sighed.
“With their IQs, they already are.” She laughed.
“Just think. When they go off to college, it’ll just be the two of us again,” I spoke.
“I know.” She smiled. “I’ll miss them dearly but having you all to myself in this house sounds amazing.”
“Shall we start practicing?” I grinned as I placed my hand up her skirt.
“What if they come home?”
“You extended their curfew. They aren’t coming home.”
I leaned in and brushed my lips against hers. After all these years, I was more attracted to her than ever. There was no other woman in the world more beautiful than my wife. She climbed on top of my lap. Our kiss was as passionate as it always was. My fingers started unbuttoning her blouse, and my cock was as hard as a rock. We had the whole night to ourselves, and it didn’t matter where we made love.
Suddenly, the front door opened.
“Hey, we’re back and brought some friends with us,” Ryan shouted. “We’re going to hang down in the basement.”
“Mom, can a couple of my friends spend the night?” Kennedy asked as she stepped into the living room and halted. “Oh, my God! Stop it!”
“How many more months?” Ariana asked me as she still straddled my lap.
“Not soon enough.” I sighed.
Thank you for reading Defense! I hope you enjoyed it.
